LE SSERAFIM Sakura Shares She's Practicing But Gets Criticized For Her Reply
On May 7, netizens established an online forum titled, "It Seems Like LE SSERAFIM Is Finally Practicing."
In the post, the author uploaded a screenshot showing a fan asking Sakura about her day. This was replied to by the idol, who shared that she was practicing. OP translated:
Fan:"Kkura, what have you been doing all day today?"
Sakura:"I was practicing, practicing, and practicing."
The reactions to the message were varied, as some Korean netizens drew mockery to the interaction, specifically with Sakura's reply.
"Isn't everyone practicing?"
"OP said 'Finally.'"
"All idols practice."
"No, but I'm not trying to call her out, but she should save her words and just endure through the practices and show us through her actions instead."
"Just look at the comments, everyone is mocking them already. It's not even a single." "I'm practicing" but she seems so resolute with her 'practice, practice, practice' Ah this is frustrating."
"Stop practicing dance only, I feel like vocal training should come first."
"Of course, everyone practices dancing and singing, this is just pitiful to see."
However, some netizens defended the idol from the nitpicking and hate train.
"Look at people mocking them even when they say they'll practice. People sure are something."
"They'll get criticized for anything."
"Fighting on your live!"
The forum also included the reactions of International netizens, who drew mixed reactions to the idol's response. Meanwhile, others also backed up the LE SSERAFIM member.
"She says she's practicing but let's wait until the next live performance to see if that's true."
"Yeah, practicing what? You should be learning and practicing what you're learning."
"You don't even have the basics of singing down, you don't get to practice."
"I hope they are practicing singing, then sing and dance at the same time. Practicing is very vague."
"Does one sentence deserve to warrant this much negativity if she said something like "I was at home" y'all still would've been mad, so now what?"
"You people are really nitpicking a reply for a fan in an app for fans? Now she needs to explain what she's doing exactly? Wtf people, you just want to find something to nitpick."
"You guys surely are a little too worked up over a simple statement. She's an entertainer. she practices regularly."
"Sakura says she's practicing (to fans, on Weverse, a fan platform) and non-fans are mad? Haters are really incredible."
